Fly Flats

Freezing cold with that easterly blowing hard this morning. Went to check for any overnight Whoopers but drew a blank !
2 Redshank
2 Oystercatchers
8 Curlew
4 Lapwings
3 Greylag and loads of Canada's
3 Rooks
12 Carrion Crows giving the Lapwings a lot of hassle !
Seed put down at the Twite feeding station in the hope of drawing some in this spring thanks to BS's initiative.
No sign of any Wheatears yet.

Well worth a check for Whoopers this morning John maybe the clear sky last night kept 'em going.Will keep up with the seed Bri as best I can. I spread it out a bit to try avoid the canadas and mallard taking it all.
